Atma's For Garuda

Fellow SMN's, I defer to your superior knowledge and humbly ask for your assistance.

I am working on my Vayu's +2 staff for Garuda and was wondering what are your top 5 or 6 atma's you use for both physical and magical BP's?

Currently I am on trial 1674 with 100 bunny's to go in Aby-La Theine.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

For physical, definitely use Razed Ruins, maybe use Apocalypse. Predator Claws hits for high damage with Razed Ruins, play around with it a bit.

That's all I have to contribute to this thread.

Phys: Razed Ruins, Gnarled Horn, Harvester, Apocalypse, Dark Depths, Voracious Violet, Stout Arm are all good. STR increases base damage, whereas +attack does next to nothing on avatars.

Magic: Gales, Ultimate, Minikin Monstrosity, Beyond, Pandemonium Warden Atma are all good.

Thank you for the comments so far.

On a side note, are you aware of any atma's that will lessen the frequency of whiffing with Predator Claws?

Frustrating that I can easily one-shot some Plateau Hare's with PC and other times barely dent them.

Gales, Ultimate, Minikin for Magical. Though for most things, Shiva beats Wind Blade damage assuming 5/5 merits

I would love to use another avatar but for this line of trials Garuda must land the kill shot (since I am doing this solo).

I imagine the +50 to DEX from Razed Ruins will help. Other than that, I would recommend Evoker's Spats and Summoner's Bracers for equips.

if your having an accuracy problem with avatar id agree on the +50 dex from razed ruin but also could do the accuracy bonus from cloak and dagger if needed

I'll try these suggestions, thanks!

Razed Ruins is a no-brainer for Predator Claws.
other good options: Omnipotent, Gnarled Horn, Horned Beast, Voracious Violet.

For Wind Blade: Ultimate, Baying Moon, Gales, Stormbird, Beyond, or Scarlet Wing.

I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond to this! I'll test these out tonight.

Actually, what is probably causing the variation is not that she is whiffing, but that she is not doing crits. Crits are a massive part of Pred Claws. You can do 300 damage with Pred Claws and still land all 3 hits (you can verify this by checking avatar's TP).

What you really need to do is cap out crit rate. I suggest Razed Ruins & Gnarled Horn for this. As others have said, increasing STR helps a lot too. In my experience the best combo for Pred Claws is:
Voracious Violet + Razed Ruins + Gnarled Horn

Basically STR & Crit Rate are where it's at. Don't use Apocalypse unless you want the Auto-Reraise. DA & TA are pointless on BPs because they don't gain the modifiers of the BP. They are just normal attacks for 100-200 extra damage. Also don't worry about crit damage, you would think something like Sanguine Scythe would be awesome based on what I said above, but it turns out Pred Claws has a natural ~20-30% crit damage bonus, and the cap is 50% so Razed Ruins caps you out there. Between Razed Ruins & Gnarled Horn, you should have capped crit damage bonus and damn near capped crit rate (~90%).

Guess I need to get Gnarled Horn atma ASAP after all. LOL

Kinda torn on what to use with PC without GH. For sure RR & VV are in right now. So it boils down to Omnipotent or Stout Arm I guess.

If you have Dark Depths, I'd use that in the meantime. Otherwise it's a toss-up, I'd lean toward Omnipotent probably. The haste would be nice for her melee attacks, which are not insignificant when you got VV+RR going.

I'd probably use MM regardless... just to keep your MP up...
Besides that everything has already been said

Oh yeah good point, MM is good if you are a little behind on equips. If you have the right setup though, you don't need any refresh from atma. I roll with 3 DD atmas and get 7mp/tick back with Garuda out. Could get 8 if I was willing to wear a subligar... but I'm too self-conscious :(
